Frequently reports do not come up before the end of project and obviously if the product does not work , then reporting on the results or activity will have little value until the data is correct. However, that does not preclude confirming early in the cycle that the required information is available and in a format that will allow the reports to be formatted and populated reasonably easily. A list of the existing reports (in the case of a product upgrade or a conversion) can be checked early in the project to ensure that the data is available in the new or upgraded product.
Lessons Learned: Make sure a list of the required data is available at the commencement of the project.
